Orthopedic Appliance Policy:
Any student wearing an orthopedic appliance, which includes but is not limited to a cast, sling, brace, splint, crutches, tape, ace bandage, boot, etc. must be accompanied by a note from either the parent or the physician. Upon the first day of arrival at school with an apparatus, the student and parent must meet with the school nurse to go over safety procedures. The student wearing an appliance will be restricted from participating in recess, PE and school sports. If the appliance is needed for more than two days, then a physician’s note must be turned in to the nurse outlining any restrictions, limitations, and a plan for clearance. A note must also be submitted to the nurse when the physician has cleared the student to resume their regular activity.
